Victor didn't like the movie because it portrayed Brandon Teena as a victim. If, for example, it had treated her rapists and killers as heroes, he wouldn't have had any problem with it. Then it would have been an "honest" and "brave" film.

The violence in the film is extra gruesome for a reason. The filmmaker wanted to make the brutality of what was done to Brandon Teena crystal clear. And that's because the filmmaker wanted to make sure than no one left the theater believing that Brandon Teena asked for it. Which is what Teena's peers, local lawmakers and local press seemed to think.
